The reason the with RedNinjaViper/Satan(s) should not be included in the 25th anniversary is...
1. In the original RAH run (the 25th anniversary were celebrating by the way) there were no red repainted Storm Shadows.
2. I don't believe this by a long shot, but some collectors say they got the toys as a kid because they loved the comic. Yeah right, whatever. Red Ninjas (who also by the way never officially had their own title) were nothing more than rip-offs of "The Hand" Ninja Clan from Daredevil. I love you Larry, but if you want to steal Frank Millers (bad) ideas, at least give your "version" a name.
3. Last, but not least the original "Satan" figure was nothing more than a Storm Shadow repaint. It's true. Too bad the toy wasn't a RAH (the 25th anniversary were celebrating by the way). For those of you who might not know, RAH stands for Real AMERICAN Hero. Not Real ARGENTINIAN Hero. If were doing THAT, forget all the figures we REALLY grew up with! Paint Scarlett silver and give me that Glenda fig I never knew I really I wanted. Throw in Abutre Negro and India's generic "Superhero" and I'm sure we'd all be set! Who the hell's General Hawk? I got the man, the machine, STREET HAWK!
Sorry, TK prime. I'm not trying to get on you or anyone else. By your handle I assume you're a bigger Transformers fan. That's cool, but keep in mind foreign TF's are much more respectable than foreign Joes. (Ones from Japan of course.)
The one obvious thing that no one has said yet is: HASBRO IS ONLY TRYING TO SAVE MONEY BY DOING REPAINT, AFTER REPAINT, AFTER REPAINT! I don't blame any person or any company for trying to save money. Just don't do STUPID, IDIOTIC things like put a really lame, 2004 costume design in 25th Annie, nastolgic package. That's just disrespectful. If they want to start yet another 3 3/4" line, with the very LEAST amount of money, take a moment to actually think about what would be good. They already have the sculpt (Snake Eyes) that mostly all the original Joes need. With that a Hawk, Grunt, Rock'N Roll, and all the others could be made and put in some cool 5pk's or whatever. That would all make sense! Those guys were around 25 years ago. Not a yellow-suspendered, gas-masked, JUMP-jetpack wearing, just made it the f-up Cobra Troop! Is everyone seeing where I'm going with this.
I guess I'm 'bout done with this rant. That Stalker fig better come with a green jetpack. And I take it back, a new Abutre Negro fig would be cool. But not for the 25th line. Maybe later.
I completely agree with you and that is what I was starting to get at. To celebrate the RAH 25th, we should get RAH figures.
